From everything I'm reading it seems as though blood sugar levels play a large role in swaying. Had anyone used diabetic test strips to measure their levels when swaying?

I don't want you guys to do that. For starters, we have no idea what we'd even want our levels to be and it may very well be different for everyone. Secondly, we don't know that it's a level per se or if it's a CHANGE in levels (as in, our bodies are used to having more stable levels and now they're on the lower side). And thirdly, and I believe MOST important, it is very likely that it is not the level in and of itself but what your body does as a result of that, that sways pink. The human body doesn't like or want to have low or high levels and immediately takes steps to rectify that - meaning that your levels soon go back to normal range anyway because of the things your body does to correct it. Meaning that there is probably not even going to be anything to measure; once your BS drops your body starts burning its stores as fuel and your BS goes up to normal range again!

...and of course the numbers on the strip are also another thing to obsess over...since we don't even have a clue that they matter and they probably don't, obsessing over the numbers on a monitor, testing several times a day, is just another way to "Martha" your way into an opposite with an otherwise great sway.
